Synopsis

Written for the one- to three-term introductory programming course, the sixth edition of Java Illuminated provides learners with an interactive, user-friendly approach to learning the Java programming language. Comprehensive but accessible, the text takes a progressive approach to object-oriented programming, allowing students to build on established skills to develop new and increasingly complex classes. Java Illuminated follows an activity-based active learning approach that ensures student engagement and interest. In addition, the text presents other topics of interest, including graphical user interfaces (GUI), data structures, file input and output, and graphical applications. New section at the beginning of the book showing examples of Python syntax and its Java equivalent to help students coming from Python Recognizing today's students' growing interest in visualization, an example using either animation or graphical output is included in most chaptersEach chapter includes one or two Programming Activities, which are designed to provide visual feedback to the students so that they can assess the correctness of their codeEach chapter is supplemented with a browser-based module that animates sample code, visually illustrating concepts such as the assignment of variable values, evaluation of conditions, and flow of controlInstructor resources include programming activity solution code, answers to end-of-chapter exercises, lecture slides in PowerPoint format, and test banks for each chapter.
